Ratings and reviews

I'm not exactly sure what was going on with the app when I first downloaded it but the problem seemed to have fixed itself. Now that I'm able to access the app and properly use it, it's very helpful. You're able to put as much detail into your story and characters as you want with almost no character limits while typing. You're able to upload images of both your characters and their story, create species guidelines, religions, cultures, etc. Overall a really good tool for world building!

This would easily be 5 stars but there's ONE thing that keeps me from rating it that way. When editing characters and inputting new information, the text cursor is virtually non-existent. It's only there when I start a new text but if I try to go back and edit something it only highlights either the word or the entire text so I can't even type anything else unless I delete it all and just retype everything to get to the point I want. It's one very small flaw that makes it unbearable to use.

I've always wanted to write a book, but have never really had the organizational skills or motivation to believe I could get it done, but I honestly feel like it is possible with this app. I really like how you can split up chapters and create timelines, as well as track your progress. It is really helpful if you're busy! If they make word count stats automatic (instead of me having to do my own math to figure out how many words I've written) I'll bump my review to 5 stars! I'd def recommend!

Update 4.3: Writing Reminders
We know finding a productive rhythm can be hard. That's why we can send you a daily writing reminder now! You can select at what time you're the most productive: early morning or late at night, and receive a reminder.

If you have a specific schedule (for example, late-night work during the week and early mornings on the weekend), you can set a custom schedule.
